The case for assisted suicide can seem so compelling. Surely it can't be wrong to help desperate people to kill themselves? Don't we have a right to take our own lives in certain circumstances? There are no trite or easy answers. John Wyatt helps us to navigate the arguments with hearts and heads engaged, and above all with our Bibles open. There are practical and compassionate alternatives to assisted suicide, and as many who have gone before us have found, the end of our lives on this earth may turn out to be a strange and wonderful opportunity for growth and internal healing.

John Wyatt focuses on the ars moriendi—quite simply the art of dying well and dying faithfully. He offers clear direction, warm reassurance and rock-solid confidence in the One who has conquered death. We cannot choreograph our own death, but we can die well. This is a book for those who are facing death. It is also for their relatives, friends, and caretakers.

I’ve put together an audiobook filled with true stories of my 30 years’ experience working as a paramedic, firefighter, rescue diver, and flight medic. Many of them are tragic with some dark humor mixed in. If you're looking for cute kitten stories, this is not the audiobook for you. However, if you want a glimpse into the real world of what it’s like to be a firefighter and paramedic, look no further.

Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do—or ought not to do—impinges on our personal lives, families and societies. John Wyatt examines the issues surrounding the beginning and end of life against the background of current medical-ethical thought. Writing out of a deep conviction that the Bible's view of our humanness points a way forward, he suggests how Christian healthcare professionals, churches and individuals can respond to today's challenges and opportunities.

Should doctors be allowed to help terminally ill people kill themselves? How should a humane society respond to those who are suffering terribly at the end of life? What laws are being proposed, and what will be the consequences for dying people, for health-care services, and for society as a whole? John Wyatt has worked as a frontline doctor in the UK National Health Service for more than 30 years and brings his clinical, ethical, and personal experience to this crucial debate. Assisted Dying is a concise, audible, and authoritative guide to a vital question of our times.

Re-Deranged: A Night of Poe is not just a love letter to Poe. This stage play (now radio show) also celebrates the work of director Roger Corman and actor Vincent Price. Throughout the '60s, the duo collaborated on no fewer than six indelible classics of the cult cinema circuit, which today are known to horror fans as part of “Poe Cycle” by American International Pictures (AIP).
